Revainrating 2 out of 5

A useless product, it's not worth the money.

The microphone and speakers are all that's good about this headset. It is extremely problematic to change the ear pads, take it off - take it off, and put it back on is already extremely problematic, even in the manufacturer's video about changing the ear pads - gluing, they bring new ones to the headphones, and in the next frame they are already in place. The coating of the ear cushions began to burst and tear at the seams after 5-6 months. There is no adjustment of the tightness of the fit, if it is tight - rot the piece of iron in the headband. Although in general - the design of the headset is quite good and reliable. The mixer is just terrible, from the fact that it is located extremely poorly, ending with the fact that it works out of hand, and 7.1 is a toy for a couple of days. It is located too far on the wire from the headphones themselves so that it can just hang out and be convenient for access, but at the same time it is too close to put it on a table at a distance - it neatly gets in the way under the hands lying on the table, and even upside down, because. e. with its location in 99% of cases, when you take it in your hand, it is upside down ("+" from below, "-" from above); On the filling - the volume settings constantly fly off, the channels themselves change places or even one can disappear and the switch stops working (meaning 7.1 and standard), when switching to 7.1. it may stop responding to the adjustment or the sound disappears altogether, it is impossible to change the volume quickly, it perceives pressing once every 1.5-2 seconds, if more often it beeps disgustingly in the ears. All that normally works on the mixer - mute the microphone. May conflict with other USB devices on the same group of USB ports - the mouse and keyboard stopped working (it was necessary to replace the rodent, after the new one was plugged into the adjacent port - it simply did not work, during experiments the same thing happened with the keyboard, it was necessary to spread it) . As a result, you just stop at the average settings and no longer touch this horror at all. I do not advise this model mainly because of the mixer, it is simply not brought to mind and it is not worth paying extra money for this imperfection.

Pros
  • Good sound, adjustable bass. Good microphone.
Cons
  • Disgusting mixer (both in design and functionality). Low quality ear pads.
